The Unity for Hungary (Hungarian: Egységben Magyarországért), also known as the Opposition Coalition (Hungarian: Ellenzéki Összefogás), was a big tent political alliance in Hungary that competed against Fidesz-KDNP in the 2022 election. However, the coalition lost the election.

The coalition aimed to field a single candidate in each of Hungary’s 106 electoral districts to challenge the Fidesz-KDNP candidate. If victorious, they planned to govern together based on a jointly agreed program and principles.[1]

Members

In 2021, Péter Márki-Zay became the joint prime ministerial candidate of the Unity for Hungary coalition. As a result, his party, the Everybody’s Hungary People’s Party, was considered part of the alliance, along with other smaller parties. However, only the six founding parties had decision-making authority.
